Smith said the new "no-fault" pol1cy has not necessarily resulted in a ' larger number of absentee . voters, despite the flexibility and convenience the policy allows. She said most voters continue to visit the polls on Election Day unless circumstances prevent them from doing so. "Most of the voters who come into the office to vote or request ballots by mail generally have a reason to do so, such as being out of the state during the winter months," Smith said. "Most of thpse who voted at the polls continue to do so, even though the· law allows them to vote any time." In 2004, with 14,000 registered voters on the books, 399 voters cast absentee ballots in the March primary, and 5,755 voted on Election Day. That November, 1,305 absentee ballots ·were cast, and 10,813 ballots· - were cast on Election Day. In the 2006 gen~ral election, which includ- ed the governor's race, and no-fault absentee voting was permitted, 1,094 voters cast absentee ballots and 8,035 voted at the polls. Smith said the county now has 15,414 registered voters. The board's deadline for receiving applications for absentee ballots is March I. They must be received by the close of the polls at 7:30 p.m. on Election Day, March 4. Voters may also cast ballots at the board office during regular business hdurs on weekdays through that time period.

Raul Castro appears to get along with Lage, who is a quiet, pragmatic organizer like himself. Raul backed Lage's earlier reform proposals,' especially farmers markets where excess crops are sold at market prices. But both Lage and Raul Castro say any change will not be at the expense of socialism. And Lage has dampened hopes that Cuba would follow China and Vietnam in allowing capitalist markets to thrive. "Their successes and failures should enrich our efforts," Lage told managers of state enterprises last year. "But the building of socialism in Cuba is only possible as a result of our own experiences." Raul !llso has championed the concept of closer ties to the United States, offering again and again to d~uss normalizing relations · with ' Washington. But the Bush administration ruled that out Thesday, deriding 'Raul Castro as "Fidel Lite." That means that the nearly five-decade U.S. embargo of Cuba will remain in place for the known future frustrating both Cubans and many Americans who see much potential in trade' with the island, not only for business but as a catalyst for change. And despite a detailed U.S. plan meant to encourage a "democratic transition" from the Castros' rule, Cuban officials insist the island's socialist political and economic systems will endure. For now, that means Cuba's tiny dissident community can only wait, and hope that the new leadership will be more open to change from within. "History will say if it is a good day," said Oswaldo Paya, whose Varela Project seeking a referendum on civil rights and electoral reforms was quashed under the elder Castro's rule.

Ailing leader Fidel Castro resigned as Cuba's president early Tuesday, saying in a letter published in official online media that he would not accept a new term when the newly elected parliament meets on Sunday. The resignation, announced Tuesday, should give Raul Castro th~ autonomy he lacked as the government's caretaker since Fidel was sidelined by intestinal surgery in July 2006. The younger Castro .raised ex~ctations of openings in the state-controlled economy with his reponed fasci-. nation with Chinese-style capitalism, calls for unspecified "structural changes," and acknowledgment that government wages averaging $19 a month do not satisfy basic needs.

A leading candidate is Lage, the de-facto prime minister, who at 56 is a full generation younger than the Castros. He's among the most experienced leaders in a power structure dominated by septuagenarian former rebels, and he has built a reputation as a reformer. A less likely possibility could emerge from a handful of leaders in their 30s and 40s, such as Foreign Minister Fe·Jipe Perez Roque, whose Communist fervor· earned them the collective nickname of "Young .

But Charlton, a 40-yearold account executive at an Irvine.

M h Dear Anme: y usband and I recently traveled a long distance to attend my father-In-law's birthday eelel:iration. Many family members and friends attended the festivities.

Imagme my surpnse and embarrassment when I learned only my in-laws and their chi! dren were to be included in the picture -- no spouses. My in-laws have slighted me on other family occasions, but I've always asked my husband not to cause a scene .

How do I handie such rude and ignorant behavior?_ Snubbed and Miffed . !Jear Snubbed: It's pertectly OK to take a picture of jost the parents and children, sans spouses. However, it shouldn 't be the only family picture. Whoever was in charge should have arranged for several family shots to be taken, some with spouses, some without. It avoids the hurt feelings you have described. If it happens again, your husband should suggest taking an additional family photo that includes everyone, but if he won't speak up, feel free to do so yourself.

Grange members learn State allows Cuyahoga to conduct all about Leap Year midday ballot pickup for primary POMEROY - With this being Leap Year, Kim Romine , lecturer of Hemlock Grange, used that as her theme for the program pres.e nted at a recent meeting. · She noted that it happens every four years to keep the calendar year synchronized witht . the astronomical or seasomil year, and defined a year the time it takes the earth to make on complete revolution around the sun. . The Egyptians were the. first to come up with the idea of adding a leap day once every four years to keep the calendar in sync with . · the solar year. she said. The most accurate calendar to date is the Gregorian calendar . which has three rules. Every year divisable ·. by four is u.leap year, but every year divis. able by IDO is not a le11p year unless the year is also divisable by 400 and then it is a leap. year. Romine said. With the formula the average year is 365.2425 days per year, she con. eluded. Rosalie Story conducted the meeting with Romine giving preliminary plans for the Hemlock Grange cookbooks.

New meeting will be preceded by a pork loin dinner at 6:30p.m. BY JOE MILICIA ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER 'CLEVELAND - The Ohio Legislature has passed a bill allowing three counties, including the state's most J??PUious, to collect ballots at m1dday during the March 4 election . The measure is expected to help Cuyahoga County. which includes Cleveland, save time in its tirst election with a system that will scan and count paper ballots from various preci nets at a central location. The bill was on its way Tuesday to Gov. Ted Strickland, who plans to sign it. Cuyahoga officials will be permitted to transport ballots from voting precincts to a downtown counting location between noon and ~ p.m. on March 4. The ballots must be delivered by two people from different political parties. Cuyahoga elections director Jane Platten has warned that primary election vote tabulation could go well into the next day because of the new system and the time that may be needed to . transport ballots, organize them and run them through scanners. Only Cuyahoga and the much smaller Van Wert and Mercer counties on Ohio's western edge will count votes at a central location in the primary. The bill. which cleared the House on Tuesday and the Senate on Feb. 6, also permits midday pickup in Van Wert and Mercer. The central-count optical-scan system has been qiticized by the American Civil Liberties Union and others for not scanning ·ballots immediately at precinct sites, which would allow a voter to correct undervotes or over.votes if a machine rejects a ballot. Central count systems will be short lived in Ohio -the bill prohibits any county board of elections from tabulating optical-scan ballots at a central location for any election after May I. Cuyahoga officials have said they plan to have ballots counted at precincts, where poll workers can identify if there is a problem with a ballot, for the genenll election in November. Board members say there )Nasn 't enough time before the primary to prepare precincts to count ballots. . · :Community Calendar ·Public meetings Make sure you're included in our PageA3 BYTHE .BEND The Daily Sentinel Wednesday, February 20, 2008 Cubans hope Raul Castro will adopt refonns·· after Fidel leaves presidency on his own tenns HAVANA -· Commuters lined up at bus stops.

Clinton said the · primary campaign "is about picking a president.' who ·relies not just on words but on work - on hard work to get America back to work." She told the crowd that. the "best words in the world are not enough" unless they're matched with action. Obama campaigned in Youngstown on Monday, as both candidates attempt to woo voters in the key region for Democratic votes. The Ohio and Texas primary races on March 4 are the next big contests in the struggle for the Democratic presidential nomination, and there's no question Clinton w.ill need to do W!lll after her string of nine losses.

Republican National Committee spokeswoman Blair Latoff says Clinton's health care ·ptan would only lead to higher taxes for everyone. "It's stunning she continues to trump her b\g-government solutions," Latoff said . · Clinton. asked voters in Parma to consider who they should hire as president based on their families' needs. "That's what this election should really be ·about," Clinton said . "It shouldn't be about speeches. It should be about solutions.

The attempted shootdown, already approved by ~sident Bush, is seen by some as blurring the lines between defending against a weapon like a· long-range missile and targeting satellites in orbit. The thre.e~stage Navy missile, designated the SM-3, has chalked up a high rate of success in a series of tests since 2002 - jn each case targeting a·short- or mediumrange ballistic missile, never a satellite.

About half of the 5,000-pound spacecraft would be expected to survive its blazing descent through the atmosphere and would scatter debris over several hundred miles.

It carried a sophisticated and secret imaging sensor. Morrell said the cost of adapting the Navy anti-missile system for the shootdown mission was $30 million to $40 million.

PageA6 OHIO The Daily Sentinel · Weclnesday, February 20, 2008 BY PHIUP EWOn ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ' COLUMBUS Presidential hopeful John McCain on Tuesday rallied Ohio Republicans whose support he will need in November's general election and riled Democrats who have 'yet to pick their nominee. McCain's flrst public campaign trip to Ohio comes as he is on his way to becomilig the Republicans' official nominee. At a fundraiser Tuesday night, he joined supporters to watch results from Wisconsin's primary, which he easily won. The Ariwna senator told the victory rally that he's a . superstitious man but can "claim with confidence and . humility" that he'll be taking his party into the presidential election. The victory in Wisconsin over Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee moved him closer to clinching the nomination, an outcome that has hardly been in question as others have dropped out of contention. · McCain had no criticism of his rival for staying in the race. He said Huckabee has shown "impressive grit and passion." Ohio Democrats issued pre-emptive criticisms of the Ariwna senator's economic record, rrying to bruise him ahead of the state's March 4 . primaries that won't end their own bitter contest. "If I am the nominee of the party, I will compete very strongly here, in the heartland of America," McCain told reporters earlier Thesday as he arrived for two days of campaigning.

Paul has done linle campaigning anywhere and has not publicly announced trips to Ohio. McCain transitioned into a schedule that looks ahead to November, when Ohio will be key.

The primary piece headed to New Jersey is point guard Devin Harris. The others are center DeSagana Diop, swingman Maurice Ager, forward Trenton Hassen and retired forward Keith Van Hom. New Jersey also gets two first-round draft picks and $3 million. Van Horn and Hassell replace Jerry Stackhouse and Devean George in an original ·trade proposal. Stackhouse's presence in the deal was muddled by plans to get him back to Dallas within th~ rules, although in a way the league frowned upon- and George used his veto power to block his involvement. "It's been the most amazing, interesting trade we've ever done, and we've done some doozies here," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said. "I've never seen anything like it, but all's well that ends well. We got' the right guys." Kidd wasn't the answer in Dallas a decade ago, and he was shipped to Phoenix after 2 112 seasons. Five years later he was traded to the Nets, who went to back-tohack NBA finals in 2002-03. New Jersey hasn't made a long playoff run since, and Kidd started talking trade. a year ago, when he almost went to the Los Angeles Lakers. He went public with his latest trade demand last month. "He's a once-in-a-lifetime type of guy to play with and coach," Nets coach Lawrence Frank said. "He's had an unbelievable impact on everyone in this orgimization and we wish him nothing but the best." Cuban, who was a Mavericks season ticket holder the last time Kidd was in Dallas, is essentially gambling that the I 1/2 seasons he'll have Kidd is worth more than the 4 112 seasons left with Harrjs running the offense. · Kidd, of t;ourse, is a proven commodity, but he turos 35 next month and is a decade older .than Harris.

The· Rebels then went 7-of14 from the field in the second, outscoring the hosts 16-12 for an eight-point cushion entering the break. The guests went 12-of-27 from the field (44 percent) in the opening half and held a pair of nine-point leads midway througn the second quarter.

South Gallia scored the opening bask.et of the secand half just 27 seconds in to take its biggest lead Of the night at 29-19, but then went scoreless over the next 5:21 of the third period.
